ST NEOTS: Machete-wielding driver jailed for chasing police

A MACHETE-wielding driver who chased police at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour has been jailed for four years.

Kevin Breedon, 34, had threatened a woman and a teenager with an 18-inch blade during an argument outside his home in Great High Ground, Love’s Farm, St Neots, at 2.13am on October 30.

When officers arrived, they separated the pair from Breedon and got them into a patrol car. But Breedon, who was drunk, attacked the car with his knife before jumping into his Ford Focus and attempted to give chase.

He was eventually arrested by firearms officers on the A428 after pursuing the wrong patrol car – believing the woman and boy were inside.
